Bought a three days consecutive pass for a family of three. Used January 2-4, 2020. Traveled from Manchester to York and Scarborough, Cambridge via London, and Bristol. Over the three days, we took 12 trains and each one was on time - trains ran like clockwork. We chose first class tickets - well worth the extra cost. Second class coaches were fairly full on some services, not so first class. Also, on mainline services great hot breakfast and dinner served at your seat at no extra cost, and snacks and drinks on the other secondary services. On an evening trip from London back to Manchester, after serving my wife and I each a glass of wine, the waitress left the bottle (still about 33% remained) for us to finish! Ditch the stress of driving and today’s expensive car rentals rates, travel BritRail First instead and be pampered.

I was travelling in the UK last September/October, and LOVED my BritRail pass! So easy to use, so many options of times and routes to get where I needed to go. No worries about reservations, I just walked on and away I went! I am in awe of the UK rail system - one can get into almost every corner on the train.

We travelled from Wales to Glasgow suburbs in one day: 6 trains, several railway companies. A railpass made it easy. Loved the Heart of Wales rail journey.

The simplicity and ease of use are fantastic. Just show up at the station and hop on a train--even the Heathrow Express--no reservation needed. If you are planning a flexible vacation to Britain, this is for you. No rigid timetable and you can hop on and off at your leisure, seeing what you want to see.

What a great way to get around the UK. Once we had the pass stamped it was so easy to use and no worries about having to queue for tickets. We just checked the timetable worked out where we wanted to go and off we went. The extra for first class was well worth it. Will definitely be looking at it next time. 100% recommended.

The Britrail Pass was convenient (once we figured out how to get it stamped to start) and a fair price. It was good to have the expense out of the way before we arrived. We loved traveling by train instead of plane once we arrived, and were able to see the countryside comfortably instead of sitting for hours awaiting a flight only to sit in a tight seat, then wait for baggage. We were satisfied with meals offered and the service was excellent (first class tickets were worth the extra bit). Have done it before and hope to again.

The best part of having a BritRail Pass is the convenience. You can board and disembark a train at any time and any place. You never have to stand in a line to get a ticket. When looking at the cost of a trip on line, we realize what a huge bargain it is to buy the pass. Our family uses First Class accommodation as well which makes it even more convenient. If we are going to be on a busy route at peak times we normally get reservations which are free in the booking offices. First Class cars on some train lines provide snacks, drinks and some food. Love having breakfast on the train! Cars are normally quieter, more comfortable and not as hectic. With our BritRail pass we got several different tickets at 2 for 1 by showing our pass. We have used these passes for many years and plan to do so for many years to come. They are wonderful.

Used a 3 days +1 day special offer consecutive pass with my wife within Oct 19. Very easy to use, value for money especially when you cannot/do not want to plan ahead your trip in detail (if you can and you book your ticket ahead you can get bargain deals).

I travelled all over Scotland and places in England with only good experiences. The trains were always on time, there was only one journey I had to stand. Staff were friendly and helpful, one even tried to help me with my phone. First class was very luxurious with spacious seating and many amenities apart from the ample refreshments and service. I hope to return with my husband this time and explore more of the UK this way.

This was the third time I have enjoyed a first-class consecutive pass. Trains in Britain are, with some exceptions, fast, comfortable and reliable. The pass is very good value and allows the holder to move freely around the system. The view out the window is unfailingly interesting and sometimes spectacular. There are a few minor changes that could be made to make the Britrail experience even more rewarding. It would be useful to make the pass capable of using the ticket barrier system if possible, as the layout of some of the busy stations make it hard for non-standard ticket holders. On the wildly scenic routes in Cornwall, Wales and Scotland for example, it would be nice if the windows could be cleaner. And, rather more problematic, some of the older diesel railcars have a problem with diesel exhaust fumes entering the passenger compartment. I found travelling in the first car of multiple unit trains a partial solution to this problem.
